There’s now a Candy Crush esports tournament

An exciting new tournament called Candy Crush All-Stars U.S. will feature a series of high-stakes Candy Crush Saga matches between the best Candy Crush players in the country. If you’ve played Candy Crush Saga, you’ll find this strange. After all, it’s a laid-back match-3 game favoured by working moms and train passengers. Some players, on the other hand, are obsessive about the game and will go to great lengths to become the ultimate Candy Crush champion.

Reality TV star Khloé Kardashian will serve as host and commentator for the tournament. To be honest, I’m hoping for things like traditional sports broadcasting desks, real-time replay, and other esports luxuries that showcase every aspect of top-tier gameplay.
